Executive Coach • Speaker • Embodied Leadership Expert
Kate Bringardner is an executive coach and speaker who helps leaders reclaim their authentic voice and power. With more than 15 years of experience in leadership development and public speaking, she equips executives, founders, and change-makers to communicate with clarity, confidence, and embodied presence — especially in moments of transition, pressure, or reinvention.
Her own story of rebuilding after illness, trauma, and divorce informs her powerful approach to resilience and authenticity in leadership. Having navigated personal and professional reinvention, Kate guides others to lead with self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and grounded strength — not despite their challenges, but because of what those challenges reveal. Her approach blends strategic clarity with deep psychological insight — a unique synthesis shaped by her certifications in Mask & Movement Theatre (Italy), Foundations of Embodiment, and Jungian Shadow Coaching. Kate is known for helping clients step beyond polished performance and into powerful, grounded expression that moves people.
In addition to her private coaching practice, Kate is a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator, known for her engaging, experiential approach to topics like
Embodied Leadership
Public Speaking,
Conscious Communication
The intersection of Power and Presence.
Whether on stage or in the boardroom, Kate helps people move from performing leadership to inhabiting it — transforming the way they speak, lead, and live.
